A Game, A Goal and A Love for Basketball 🏀

Leaving trails of dust beneath the asphalt they trod against; mass exodus towards the sunkissed dome of the seaside court. Players and onlookers alike gather en masse— the air they breath reeking of the sea. Still, despite its moving parts, the cogs and gears of morning turn in quiet. Not yet will it rumble; not yet will it's blaze roar.

Silence answers louder than the the most deafening crowd. The wind carries the anxiety of every man, woman, and child upon these awakening streets. For the match today is none of the ordinary, but a game which decides the fate of every delegation this school year. Even the sun rose in anticipation— the trees stiffening in their watch.

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, soaked in his warmer already— he's nervous. But on the surface, Delos Reyes looks calm and ready to face off, but he keeps on forgetting. The training the strife that burned him out, all these months and months he's been proud of, he feels the pride as the crowd erupts in cheer for them. But deep inside, he knows he's blown.

What's a little guy like him going to do against a tall senior? Almighty demeanor, but in the court, he's no hunter, but the game to be caught. On the other hand, he's got nothing to lose. Delos Reyes isn't no star player, all he can do is fight.

First game goes well, he makes some shots, most miss, but some go in; Second game the table turns, going in behalf of the seniors; Third they get a tie. This is it, it's survive or die. Too far to turn back now, the gold is close, so close he can taste it. Either he takes home the bacon or he wastes it.

Seconds remain, he has the ball—half court. His knees are quacking like never before. He's at the center of the spotlight, like a mortal man kneeling before his judgment. A thousand thoughts dash through his mind. No, he would get past this door, whether that means he needs to go hurdling through.

He remembered watching his father play a game of basketball once. He wishes to play like him, to make his daddy proud. Delos Reyes could not choke— not this time. He takes the shot; the crowd falls silent— Awe and admiration, in hope.

He missed. The seniors won by a single point. Still, he breathed a sigh of relief, winner or loser, everyone did. Knowing the trials they went through— through success or failure— paid off, one way or the other.

Admire Till It Was You

As the court fills the atmosphere with cheers and excitement, he watched in a corner with inspiration and longing. Connor, a student from Pandan Bay Institute and is Grade 7, yearned to be a badminton player like them. He admired the athletes in a distance, although he never once thought to be like one.

This year, the school held a Paligsahan 2025. Connor paced down the halls, bumping students in a rush, his steps slows as he stood in front of a board. There it was, the schedule of the plays— his eyes lingered on one. Badminton, his heart ached to join yet the fear was grazing through his skin. This was his moment, to shine and show them he was good as those athletes. He turned around, walking away as his clenched hand clutched onto his chest. The fear, joy, excitement, and nervousness was all creeping into him. His heart led him to write his name on the list, to be a player— a badminton player. He never thought to himself, Connor, never joined in these kinds of events especially the Paligsahan. The determination and the heart is what he followed, he was confident— to strive and win.

The day came, as he stood in the very court of the players— he was thrilled. His hand clutching his racquet, the training, late nights, exercise, and the support from those he loved. He was confident and determined, to bring that gold back home.
As the game started, it was tied— 14-14. He was breathless, exhausted yet he showed no signs of giving up. As he held the shuttlecock, ready to serve, he waited for the signal and striked high up, catching the guard off of his rival. The shuttlecock landed, inside, as he sighed in relief. The game was intense, it was tiresome, but he knew he wouldn't just give up— not this. He took a deep breath, last and final match— match point for Connor. His heart jumped, the excitement that he would win the gold was the best thing he could possibly imagine. With one last time, he served in a low one, Jake is the player he was playing against with. He was good, and it was hard to catch up with his points but this time— Connor was sure. Connor's legs functioned in speed, hitting the shuttlecock in time, Jake dropped, but his footwork was fast— Connor dropped smoothly. Jake eyes widened, his legs mid-stopping before running towards the shuttlecock, about to hit the floor. With a dive, Jake's eyes closed, his laying body on the floor, as he looked up with open eyes. Only to see the shuttlecock to be infront of him, Connor standing there didn't celebrate instead, he helped Jake up and shaked hands as sportsmanship.

The game ended, Connor was beyond happy, the confidence and trust of winning is the best mindset he formed. Imagining of getting that certificate and medal was truly a blessing of hardwork and longing, Connor was not only a student now he's a student–athlete. Ready to join in events, strive harder, shine brighter, and love this sport deeply in his heart.

Dribble, Pass, Shoot!

As the court is filled with cheers and laughters during basketball practice, Anyang, a Grade 7 student, watched from the bleachers. She always admired the varsity athletes from afar but never imagined herself being one.

“I'll never be one of them" she whispered.

This year, however, she will take a leap of faith. Encourage by her friends, she joined and signed up for basketball for the Paligsahan. On the day of the game, nervousness comsumed her.
Her hands shook as she puts on her jersey. Her teammate hands her the ball.
In her mind, she thought "Im not good enough,” but her friends kept saying "Kaya mo yan!"

She had no choice but to act.

She dribbled with shaky hands. As the crowd shouted, she nervously aimed for the ring and released the ball in her hands. To everyone’s surprise, it went in. The covered court erupted in cheers. That moment changed everything. She began tosmile from ear to ear. Even before the game begun, Anyang intentionally avoided the ball, afraid of making mistakes. After that scene, it wasn't just about scoring points. It was about proving to herself that she could do it.

Her confidence grew every second. And by the end of the game, she is passing, tossing, dribbling, and smiling. She realized that the Paligsahan gave her the opportunity to have self-confidence and trust in herself. Even though they lost, she still felt like a champion.

The yells and the students left the court but Anyang carried with her the memory of the game. It was more than just an experience—it was the moment that she stepped out of her comfort zone to experience something new.

Anyang learned a lot. But what she learned the most was that victories can happen within ourselves.

"MY HEART ALREADY KNOWS ITS YOU"

It all began just a month ago—an innocent crush I quietly kept to myself. I never thought it would grow into something deeper, but the Paligsahan gave us more moments together. Somehow, the competition became more than just an event ,it became the start of something I never expected.

We often stayed late in the classroom, playing games on our phones, watching TikToks, joking around, and laughing at little things. At night, our conversations continued, flowing endlessly about everything and nothing at the same time. Every moment I spent with him felt light yet meaningful, as if even silence between us had its own kind of comfort.

Our classmates would often tease us, saying we look perfect together. Every time, we’d laugh it off, denying what they saw—too shy, too scared to confess. What they didn’t know was that behind those denials, my feelings were growing stronger each day.

The truth, however, is a little more complicated for me. I’ve always been afraid of having a boyfriend, afraid of the weight it carries—the responsibility, the possibility of heartbreak. But when it comes to him, it feels different. With him, I feel like maybe I could take that risk, even if I’m terrified of where it might lead.

In the end, the Paligsahan may be about competition, but for me, it became the place where my small crush blossomed into something real. I may not have the courage to confess it just yet, but my heart already knows the truth—I’ve already chosen him.

Cellphone 📲 o Edukasyon? 📖

Sa panahon ngayon, hindi na maikakaila na malaking bahagi ng ating buhay ang cellphone. Mula sa pananaliksik, pakikipag-ugnayan, hanggang sa pagkuha ng larawan ng mga sulatin, malaki ang naitutulong nito. Ngunit ang tanong, nagagamit ba ito sa tamang paraan lalo na sa loob ng paaralan?

Maraming g**o ang nakapapansin na imbes na makinig sa talakayan, abala ang ilan sa kakaselfie, panonood sa social media, o paglalaro ng mobile games. Oo nga’t nakakaaliw, pero nakasisira rin ito sa pag-aaral. Paano kung sa halip na puro “notification,” ay mas bigyang-pansin natin ang “education”? Hindi ba’t mas magiging kapaki-pakinabang?

May mga pagkakataon ding nagiging sanhi ng gulo ang maling paggamit ng cellphone. Halimbawa, ang mga hindi pagkakaunawaan na nagiging mas malala dahil sa mga post o chat. Sa halip na gamitin ito para mapabilis ang komunikasyon, nagiging dahilan pa ito ng tampuhan at alitan. Kaya mahalaga na tandaan natin na ang cellphone ay dapat gamitin sa tamang paraan, hindi para makasakit o makaistorbo sa iba.

Hindi masamang gumamit ng cellphone. Ang masama ay kung ito’y nagiging hadlang para matuto. Ang tunay na responsable ay marunong magbigay ng tamang oras at lugar. Huwag gamitin ang cellphone sa loon ng klase lalo na kung walang pahintulot ng g**o. Dapat isaisip na may tamang panahon para sa lahat ng bagay.

Tandaan natin na ang cellphone ay kasangkapan, hindi kapalit ng tunay na pagkatuto. At nasa atin ang desisyon kung ito’y magiging kaagapay sa ating tagumpay, o sagabal sa ating kinabukasan.

Kaya tanungin natin ang ating sarili, ako ba ang may kontrol sa aking cellphone, o ang cellphone na ang may kontrol sa akin?

| A Day Of Devotion |

As we gather around the covered court in silence, rosaries in hand, candles brighter than the night sky, the feast day of our patron saint, blessed Virgin Mary, is already upon us.

This day is where we honor the mother of our Lord and her unwavering faith toward God's will, embodying purity, compassion, devotion, and maternal love. As we pray the rosary to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ, his birth, death, and resurrection. Turning to Mary as a source of comfort, and presence, as her presence in our lives is a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and triumphs.

An occasion for joy, reflection, and renewal, the feast day is not only an "occasion", it is recognizing Mary not only as the Mother of God, but as a figure of God's grace. As activities and quizzes regarding Mary's life are answered by us participants to see on who knows more about Mary as the Mother of the Lord. Because if it weren't for Mary, we wouldn't have Jesus as our Redeemer.

As we celebrate the feast day of our patron saint blessed Virgin Mary, let us seek for guidance and protection, as she is the one who intercedes for us, praying to her son, Jesus Christ on our behalf.

Honoring the blessed Virgin Mary as her devotion to God inspires us to live a more sin free and a meaningful life, and to serve others with kindness and compassion. As this day will never be forgotten, because this day will forever be known as a day of devotion.
